The Gill-Longobardi family has been giving back to Belize for many years.

Efforts increased in 1981 when the Belize American Nursing Community had it’s first Nursing Conference in Belize and we saw the need for everything medical, as simple as soap, bed linens etc

The Dorothy Menzies Child Care Center in Belize City, a home for abused/neglected and abandoned children, caught our attention. Next came the Government school in Hattieville via a teacher, Annette Pech,  who  approached us for blackboard chalk and a globe.  We  have  been  supporting the school continuously for nine years.

Liberty Child Care in Ladyville,  a  home  for  abused, neglected and abandoned children, reached out to the Belize American Nursing Community for assistance. Because there is no longer a BANC, we  have  continued with  clothing and money. Helpage Belize reached out to us for assistance for basic necessities, to include diapers and clothing.

The Foundation sends diabetics supplies to the Diabetic Association of Belize, which include needles, syringes, glucometers, and diabetic socks.

All of these activities led us to create a nonprofit entity to widen our base in order to increase chari- table contributions for the underserved, to facilitate tax deductibility for donors, to enhance potential for grants, and to increase market awareness. The nonprofit was formed in October 2015.
